Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, case number, or other term entered into a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates it. That provider processes the query and supplies its results. Cannon County Court Docket does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or other direct message may be retained long enough to respond and maintain necessary records. It is not shared outside the organization unless doing so is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, servers may automatically receive basic technical details about the visit:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files saved on a device. They help show how visitors use the website, including which pages receive traffic and where visits end. Analytics providers may combine this information into summary reports. Browser controls can block cookies, though disabling them may change how parts of the website work.
What We Do With This Data
- Operating the website and maintaining reliable page performance
- Routing a search request to the selected outside provider
- Understanding which pages visitors use and where revisions may help
- Finding, diagnosing, and correcting technical faults
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Cannon County Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of court dockets or personal case information. It publishes general directions to Cannon County trial records, the Circuit Court Clerk, other court custodians, and Tennessee Public Case History for appeals. The website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party case profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Information submitted through one of those tools is governed by that provider's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each provider controls its own retention and sharing practices. Visitors should review those terms before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Cannon County offices, Tennessee courts, Tennessee Public Case History, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor follows an external link, the destination's privacy rules govern that visit. Review them before sharing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. Their collection practices are controlled by their policies.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be received by:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used to protect collected information. No internet-connected system can guarantee complete security, so Cannon County Court Docket cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A verified request concerning a minor's submitted information will be handled by removing that information when appropriate.
Your Data Rights
Rights concerning personal data can vary by residence and applicable law. Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 34 and the Tennessee Public Records Act, Tenn. Code Title 10, Chapter 7, govern access to government and court records, not the private visitor data covered by this policy. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This privacy policy may be revised as services or legal requirements change. A revised version will appear here with its new effective date.
Effective date: September 6, 2026
